The coding that hints at the prospect of Niantic soon introducing buddy Pokémon that follow your avatar around, was first noticed in a github depository, which uploaded all of Pokémon GO's data from newest update.
The coding shows off three different possibilities for how 'buddy Pokémon' will appear on-screen:
-Perched on player's shoulder
-Flying next to player
-Walking behind player (could be tied in to the height/weight measurements previously discovered in Pokémon GO data mine
Would be pretty cool to see Niantic implement a feature that's available in other Pokémon games (Pokémon Yellow, HeartGold/SoulSilver). Can you imagine walking round town with a Zapdos as your 'buddy Pokémon' though?...
So much yes.
The public Sun and Moon demo dropped, and reliable sources and committed hackers alike have since then confirmed that the demo contains files showing off the sprites of many of the unannounced Pokémon, including the final evolutions of the starters. But in all fairness, we're here to argue that Dugtrio and that fabulous hair is kind of stealing the dang show. And the folks of the internet seem to agree.

For those unaware, Pokémon GO has all but taken over the planet at this point. Phone batteries everywhere have taken a devastating hit. People wander the streets with lifeless eyes, tired legs (still getting used to the whole walking everywhere thing) on the hunt for another Magikarp (cause you need like 500 of those to get a damn Gyarados).
Seriously. Go outside, look around, and catch at least a dozen folks committed to leveling up, catching 'em all, and hitting every f**king Poké Stop between here and Narnia, while on their way to a potentially perpetual state of unemployment. Like some of us really should be getting back to work at this point...
And now to the hot topic of the day: when you first start up with this game, you've the option to side with Team Instinct, Valor, or Mystic:
Well, an inspired piece of banner artwork from DeviantArt’s Seoxys6 is serving as the rallying point for players out there that have grown tired of the senseless hostility between players on different teams. Team Harmony's message goes:
“Disturb not the harmony of Fire, Ice, or Lightning lest these three Titans wreck destruction upon the world in which they clash. Though the water’s Great Guardian shall arise to quell the fighting alone its song will fail. Thus the Earth shall turn to ash. O, Chosen One, into thine hands bring together all three.”
Can this new, 'unofficial' team put an end to all the animosity, or nah? I appreciate the nod to the pokémon storyline -- in the movie Ash and friends have to do something with Lugia in order to restore order between the three legendary birds, Zapdos, Articuno, and Moltres.
I don't know though; these reactions suggest we might yet be on an endless quest to attain peace between competing factions....

The first app is an Augmented Reality game called Pokémon AR Searcher. This app allows you to use the camera on the Nintendo 3DS to search around and capture Pokémon that can be transferred over to Black and White 2. This will be released alongside Black and White 2 for approximately $3.50.
The second new is Pokedex Pro and is an updated version of the existing Pokedex app for the 3DS. It will include new features and be released on July 14 in Japan for 1500 yen or approximately $18.
Who's that Pokémon?
